Hi Gordon I think we're getting somewhere. I have this file:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 392 Dec 10 2004 /etc/xinetd.d/sgi_fam But when I try to run it, it tells me permission denied. I have root access and this is a dedicated server. I've changed the permissions of the file to 777. Now when I try to run it, I get this error: /etc/xinetd.d/sgi_fam: line 6: type: =: not found /etc/xinetd.d/sgi_fam: line 6: type: RPC: not found /etc/xinetd.d/sgi_fam: line 6: type: UNLISTED: not found /etc/xinetd.d/sgi_fam: line 7: socket_type: command not found /etc/xinetd.d/sgi_fam: line 8: user: command not found /etc/xinetd.d/sgi_fam: line 9: group: command not found /etc/xinetd.d/sgi_fam: line 10: server: command not found /etc/xinetd.d/sgi_fam: line 11: wait: `=': not a pid or valid job spec /etc/xinetd.d/sgi_fam: line 11: wait: `yes': not a pid or valid job spec /etc/xinetd.d/sgi_fam: line 12: protocol: command not found /etc/xinetd.d/sgi_fam: line 13: rpc_version: command not found /etc/xinetd.d/sgi_fam: line 14: rpc_number: command not found Portmap is already running: [root log]# /etc/rc.d/init.d/portmap status portmap (pid 12700) is running... As far as I can tell, xinetd is a folder that contains the sgi_fam file. Sorry, my Linux knowledge is very limited ...
